Abstract: | Recently, Gupta and Kundu R.D. Gupta and D. Kundu, A new class of weighted exponential distributions, Statistics 43 (2009), pp. 621–634] have introduced a new class of weighted exponential (WE) distributions, and this can be used quite effectively to model lifetime data. In this paper, we introduce a new class of weighted Marshall–Olkin bivariate exponential distributions. This new singular distribution has univariate WE marginals. We study different properties of the proposed model. There are four parameters in this model and the maximum-likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the unknown parameters cannot be obtained in explicit forms. We need to solve a four-dimensional optimization problem to compute the MLEs. One data set has been analysed for illustrative purposes and finally we propose some generalization of the proposed model. |
